If i search on godaddy and it say congratulation you can get this premium .com domain for only $500

And all others .co .net .org .info .me .us are available to register for $10 and less. Which one should i get ?
yeah I have seen this over the last year, where it says its available, but really already registered. But it is somewhat available since the domain owner is trying to sell it via auction or make offer. Godaddy is not taking them though, look at the whois on the domain name. I do know that sometimes registers will hold a domain in their control a little longer in the redemption period. For example if a great domain is being held at Moniker that is in redemption period they will stick it into their snapnames.com auctions. I did get 1 domain like this but over paid a little.

I would stick with a .com, then .org, .net is okay, but .org looks almost like a .com
